    When was the last time you updated the spftware? Software also plays a big part in camera output. Did this happen after a new software update?

Sometimes, if the contact moves (connects/disconnects), it may show you that the battery is full when in fact it's not.

      If you still have problems after making sure contactpoints are okay, buy a new battery.

            I love this phone allot, this is the 3rd time the firmware cash dam!. tried to install the firmware again using SE software update form the pc, it only will prompt yr software is up to date and will end there. The older versions of software update, i am able to install the firmware even it prompts "u have a new version installed". i even complain to SE yet there is no reply from them. As a SE fan im truly disappointed.

                I am not sure if I just got lucky with my K850 but I have had it for 8 months now and so far its still doing very well. I've said it in a past post here that after the firmware upgrade I had for it after my encounter with the B.R.O.D., my K850 is operating beautifully. I even sometimes abuse it, using its mp3 player, radio, 3G almost excessively and I am glad to say it hasn't given up on me yet. My estimate ratio of hanging per month/s is 1:3-5. I think my unit is one of the earlier ones but I don't know if that has any connection to its great performance whatsoever. I also love its solid feel in my hand.

There are even people who find lemons buying the high end phones like the omnia, n97, iphone 3gs. but i still stand on my conviction that my k850 works fine even after a year. I mainly use it now for multimedia and shooting photos because I already have my omnia i900 as my primary phone.

                    I read there is a fair amount of people damning the K850, I have had a workmate whos K850 started to fail a while back, she ended up switching handsets but I have the K850, have used it for well over a year and I have no problems what so ever. Its not the fastest of things but neither is it a snail, its a phone that takes good pictures and plays music well and copes with the applications/internet and email that I need to have a useful gadget as well as a phone.

                            I had this phone for just over a year. It broke three times whilst on warranty. Now it broke the fourth time and I do not think it is worth repairing.

                            Software and screen are recurring issues.

                            It will often reset itself over and over.

                            I liked it when it worked but the amount of sofware and hardware problems with it is unacceptable.

                            DO NOT BUY IT
